info(old) on D'Angelo's album

ok, this from over 2 years ago.

questlove:

"Here's the deal: 11 songs are done. Most need lyrics. Most are in the 7-9 minute range. All are epic as ****. Most need a haircut. Shit I love. But shit I know the marketplace ain't even ready for. If "Untitled" video is what got him over on the idiot side of things, he is gonna have to get his physical game back and come with some strong ass imagining to make up for the fact that there will be no radio friendly single--newbies I'm warning you now, if you want to "understand" this record--you must purchase and study the following: [Funkadelic's] Maggot Brain, America Eats Its Young, Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge of Getting It On, Let's Take it to the Stage, Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, [Sly & The Family Stone's] There's a Riot Going On, [Miles Davis'] On the Corner, [Shuggie Otis'] Inspiration Information, [Brian Wilson's] Smile, [the Beatles'] Abbey Road, Revolver, [Jimi Hendrix's] Electric Ladyland, [the Sex Pistol's] Nevermind the Bullocks Here's the Sex Pistols, [Prince's] Dirty Mind, [Tony Williams'] Ego and Emergency!. Study and absorb and research this shit now. Memorize it. Understand why the albums I mentioned were important in their historical context. Lower your expectations. This will throw you for a loop."

I'll bet D'll have more than a vault of music he can't fit on one album, so maybe he can pull a "Kill Bill" and release it in volumes. The 1st album could be a hip-hop/r&b album, the 2nd could be jazz/funk album...the 3rd an all out black rock album in the vein of Jesse Johnson's "Bare My Naked Soul"

the albums ?love mentions in that quote are for the most part phenomenal
ones.

but i'm sure the tracks he's talking about here have been filed alongside
the other 70 hours of music he was already said to have recorded back in
2004.

i've been listening to "cosmic slop" everytime i take a bath lately lol
